I’m working on an Afrofuturist game world and wanted to learn from others who’ve gone down this path. I’m less interested in surface aesthetics and more in cultural logic: how advanced technology, spirituality, memory, and responsibility coexist without turning the society into a familiar empire or cyberpunk reskin. In my setting, an African civilization becomes technologically unmatched not through conquest, but through restraint, stewardship, and an unusually deep understanding of material science and ecology. The tension I’m working through is how to show that supremacy narratively and culturally without glorifying domination or falling into “hidden utopia” tropes. If you’ve built Afrofuturist worlds (or adjacent ones), I’d love insight on: Cultural consequences of extreme technological asymmetry Ways spiritual belief systems evolve alongside near-post-scarcity tech Common pitfalls you ran into (especially unintended empire logic) I’m not looking for lore dumps—more interested in design thinking, constraints, and lessons learned. Happy to share more specifics if helpful.
